Blanche, Ed. Cult of the Kamikaze. Middle East
334:22-23 May 2003.
The culture of suicide attacks has grown among Islamic fighters in Kurdistan,
Pakistan, Kashmir, Chechnya, China, Turkey and across Southeast Asia. HAMAS and
Islamic Jihad are still the most active in this type of operation, but the
secular groups that have joined in the suicide attacks have radically
transformed the profile of the kamikaze bomber the Israelis had built up, of
young Muslim men, poorly educated and religiously zealous. Groups like the Al
Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, largely recruited from Fatah, Yasser Arafat's mainstream
group, have sent Christians, young women and middle aged men on suicide
missions.

Article argues that Hezbullah in Lebanon, an organization originally established
as a religious network with narrowly defined politico-socioeconomic goals, has
eroded.
Hizbullah is high on the list of U.S. targets in the war against terror. This
article argues that the group is not linked to al-Qaeda and avoids conflict with
the U.S.
"Analyzes Hizballah's war against Israel in south Lebanon as a
psychological contest where public opinion, perception, and persuasion were the
real determinants of victory."
Lebanese Ambassador Farid Abboud expressed no doubt that the continued branding
of Hezbollah as a terrorist organization is solely a political decision,
inspired by its successful and legitimate campaign against Israeli occupation.

O'calan's Capture. Third World Quarterly 21:849-870 October
2000.
Turkey's capture of Abdullah (Apo) Öcalan in Nairobi, Kenya on 16 February

between the Turkish government and the PKK that holds out the hope of a win-win
result for all the parties involved. Turkey's EU candidacy, future
democratisation and economic success have all become involved with the stay of
Öcalan's execution and the continuing Kurdish problem.
